Last Updated: September 13, 2026

Welcome to THE GIC SHOP.

This Legal Notice applies to the website thegicshop.com, including all pages, content, products, services, communications, and related features made available through the website.

THE GIC SHOP is operated by HONG KONG GOOD LUCK INDUSTRY LTD., a private company incorporated in Hong Kong. THE GIC SHOP may also work with operational, marketing, logistics, customer service, and other personnel located in the United States and other jurisdictions. The presence of personnel or service providers in any particular country does not necessarily constitute a separate corporate entity in that jurisdiction.

For questions regarding this Legal Notice, please contact:

Email: service@thegicshop.com

1. Brand Name and Trademark Notice

The website operates primarily under the name THE GIC SHOP.

Certain products, materials, marketing content, packaging, social media materials, or other commercial communications may also refer to GIC Jewelry or related GIC branding.

Certain trademarks, trade names, logos, designs, slogans, and other brand identifiers associated with THE GIC SHOP and GIC Jewelry are currently registered, pending registration, or otherwise claimed as proprietary commercial identifiers.

Nothing contained on this website shall be construed as granting any license or right to use any trademark, logo, trade name, graphic element, slogan, product image, visual identity, or other proprietary material belonging to THE GIC SHOP or HONG KONG GOOD LUCK INDUSTRY LTD. without prior written authorization.

Unauthorized use, reproduction, imitation, modification, distribution, or commercial exploitation of such materials is prohibited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

THE GIC SHOP serves customers internationally and may use suppliers, manufacturers, warehouses, fulfillment providers, logistics providers, payment processors, independent contractors, consultants, and operational personnel located in different countries and regions.

3. Products Offered

Products offered through the website may include, without limitation:

Pendants
Chains
Necklaces
Stud earrings
Earrings
Rings
Bracelets
Watches
Customized jewelry
Jewelry accessories
Other fashion and jewelry products

The products available on the website may change from time to time.

The product selection, specifications, materials, dimensions, finishes, prices, availability, packaging, accessories, and other product-related information displayed on thegicshop.com at the time of purchase shall generally constitute the applicable product information, subject to the qualifications contained in this Legal Notice and our other published policies.

4. Product Images and Appearance

THE GIC SHOP makes reasonable efforts to present product images and descriptions accurately.

However, customers acknowledge and agree that product appearance may vary slightly from images displayed online.

Variations may result from factors including, but not limited to:

Different lighting conditions
Photography equipment
Screen settings
Display calibration
Production batches
Hand-finishing processes
Plating processes
Stone setting
Material characteristics
Manufacturing tolerances

Accordingly, slight differences in color, shine, surface appearance, stone positioning, texture, dimensions, or other non-material characteristics shall not automatically constitute a product defect.

Images displayed on the website are intended to provide a reasonable representation of the product and may not always reproduce its exact appearance under all lighting or viewing conditions.

5. Handmade and Manufacturing Tolerances

Certain THE GIC SHOP products may involve hand-setting, polishing, plating, assembly, finishing, or other manual production processes.

As a result, minor variations between individual items may occur.

Dimensions, chain lengths, stone placement, weight, thickness, engraving position, surface finish, and other measurements may therefore be subject to reasonable manufacturing tolerances.

Such reasonable variations are part of the nature of jewelry manufacturing and shall not necessarily constitute a manufacturing defect.

6. Plated Jewelry and Normal Wear

Certain products sold by THE GIC SHOP use gold plating, white-gold-colored plating, rhodium-style finishes, or other plated surface treatments.

Plating is a surface finish and is not permanent.

The longevity of a plated finish depends on multiple factors, including:

Frequency of wear
Skin chemistry
Perspiration
Humidity
Water exposure
Friction
Cosmetics
Perfume
Cleaning products
Chlorine
Detergents
Chemicals
Storage conditions

Gradual fading, discoloration, surface wear, or loss of plating resulting from ordinary use does not necessarily constitute a manufacturing defect.

Customers should follow the applicable Jewelry Care and Warranty instructions provided by THE GIC SHOP.

7. Moissanite and Diamond-Related Terminology

Where a product is described as containing moissanite, the term refers to moissanite and should not be interpreted as meaning that the product contains natural diamond.

Moissanite and natural diamond are distinct materials.

Unless a product page expressly and unambiguously states otherwise, references to:

moissanite, simulated diamond, diamond-inspired, iced, iced out, VVS-style, VVS simulated diamonds, or similar marketing terminology

must not be interpreted as a representation that the product contains natural diamonds.

Product-specific material information displayed on the applicable product page should be reviewed carefully before purchase.

8. Use of the Term “VVS”

The term “VVS” may be used in certain product names, descriptions, advertising materials, or marketing communications to describe the visual clarity, appearance, or commercial grade designation associated with stones used in THE GIC SHOP products.

Unless expressly stated otherwise on the applicable product page, the use of “VVS” does not constitute a representation that a natural diamond has been independently graded as VVS by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) or any other independent diamond grading laboratory.

Customers should rely on the actual material description of the applicable product and any documentation supplied with that product.

9. GRA Cards and Product Documentation

Certain moissanite products may be supplied with a GRA card, report, certificate, or related documentation.

Where such documentation accompanies a product, the identifying or grading information stated on the documentation supplied with that particular product shall be the reference information associated with that item.

A GRA card or related document should not be interpreted as a certificate issued by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), nor should it be assumed to represent grading by any other laboratory unless expressly stated.

THE GIC SHOP does not represent that all grading systems, certificates, cards, or reports used by different jewelry suppliers, manufacturers, or laboratories are identical or directly interchangeable.

Where product-specific grading or identifying information is provided with the product, customers should refer to the documentation supplied with that particular item.

10. No Investment or Appreciation Guarantee

Jewelry and accessories offered by THE GIC SHOP are sold primarily as personal, fashion, lifestyle, or decorative products.

Unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing, THE GIC SHOP makes no representation or guarantee regarding:

Future resale value
Investment value
Market appreciation
Precious-metal appreciation
Stone appreciation
Collectible value
Future liquidity

Past or current retail prices do not constitute a guarantee of future resale or investment value.

Customers should not purchase THE GIC SHOP products solely on the assumption that they will retain or increase their monetary value.

11. Global Sourcing

THE GIC SHOP works with suppliers, manufacturers, workshops, production partners, component suppliers, and service providers located in multiple countries and regions.

We maintain quality standards for the products we sell and seek to provide customers with products that meet our applicable specifications.

However, because materials, components, manufacturing processes, assembly, stone setting, plating, packaging, or related services may be sourced through a global supply chain, THE GIC SHOP does not guarantee that customers may select or designate a particular country of origin, factory, supplier, workshop, or manufacturing location unless such an option is expressly offered on the applicable product page.

The origin of individual components may also differ from the location in which final assembly, finishing, or packaging occurs.

12. Allergies, Skin Reactions, and Improper Use

Individual reactions to metals, plating materials, cleaning products, adhesives, stones, coatings, or other jewelry components may vary.

Customers are responsible for considering their own known sensitivities or allergies before purchasing or wearing jewelry.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, THE GIC SHOP shall not be responsible for injury, irritation, allergic reaction, discoloration, deterioration, or other damage resulting from:

Known or unknown personal allergies
Improper use
Improper storage
Failure to follow care instructions
Exposure to chemicals
Exposure to chlorine or salt water
Perfume or cosmetic exposure
Excessive moisture
Physical impact
Unauthorized repair
Modification
Misuse of the product

Nothing in this section excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded under applicable law.

13. Restricted Sales and Shipping Destinations

THE GIC SHOP conducts international business subject to commercial, logistical, compliance, payment, operational, and risk-management considerations.

Mali
Democratic Republic of the Congo
Ukraine

This list constitutes THE GIC SHOP's current commercial and operational policy and may be expanded, reduced, or otherwise modified at any time.

THE GIC SHOP also reserves the right to reject, cancel, hold, or refund an order when fulfillment would, in our reasonable judgment, create legal, sanctions, compliance, payment, fraud, security, customs, logistics, or operational concerns.

14. Countries With Limited After-Sales and Warranty Support

Due to logistics, customs, payment, return-shipping, carrier, service-network, and other operational limitations, THE GIC SHOP does not currently provide its standard voluntary after-sales warranty program in the following countries:

Brazil
Argentina

For customers in these countries, THE GIC SHOP may be unable to provide services including, but not limited to:

International return labels

Warranty replacement
Cross-border return transportation
Certain post-sale shipping services

However, nothing in this section is intended to waive or exclude any consumer right, statutory warranty, remedy, or protection that cannot legally be waived under the mandatory law applicable to the transaction.

Where mandatory local law grants a customer rights that cannot lawfully be excluded, those rights shall remain unaffected.

THE GIC SHOP may rely upon third-party service providers, including payment processors, shipping carriers, logistics companies, software providers, advertising platforms, manufacturers, suppliers, and fulfillment partners.

References to third-party companies, brands, services, laboratories, payment providers, logistics companies, or other organizations do not necessarily imply endorsement, partnership, joint venture, agency, or corporate affiliation unless expressly stated.
